UNOFFICIAL FHARMACOFCEIA, 



A SEPARATE VOLUME. 



THE METRIC SYSTEM PRESCRIPTION BOOK 

Comprising an account of the Metric System, prepared 
expressly for the use of Students of Medicine and Phar- 
macy, together with 300 Metric Prescriptions, selected 
.chiefly from the best collections of Formulae used in 
Hospital and out-patient practice, and a complete Dose 
Table ; designed as an aid in Metric prescription-writing. 
By Oscar Oldberg, Phar.D. 

The metric prescriptions given in this work are selected from the Pharmacopoeias 
and formularies of the great hospitals of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Lon- 
don, or contributed from the practice of medical officers of the United States Marine 
Hospital Service. Most of them are, in fact, extensively employed in hospital and 
out-patient practice, and they have been slightly altered in converting them into 
metric terms, and adjusted to a final product of one hundred units. 

The Dose table probably includes nearly all of the remedies that have a place in 
the current Materia Medica. The Latin nomenclature used is in accordance with 
the views expressed in a paper read before the American Pharmaceutical Associa- 
tion, at Saratoga, N. Y., in September last. In it the possessive case is ignored, 
and the names of chemicals are simply latinizations of the most correct English 
chemical nomenclature.

PREFACE. 



This volume contains practical and tried working for- 
mulse for over seven hundred unofficial but popular prepa- 
rations, among which are the various elixirs, fluidextracts, 
mixtures, syrups, tinctures, ointments, wines, etc., in de- 
mand all over the country, so far as known to the writer. 
It is hoped that the " Unofficial Pharmacopoeia " will prove 
a useful supplement to the Pharmacopoeia of the United 
States, as I have aimed to make it as complete as prac- 
ticable. 

The formiilcB can, with a minimum of labor, be used with 
any system of weights and measures, as all the numbers 
opposite the several ingredients refer to but one unit, or to 
the Gram for solids and the corresponding Fluigram for 
liquids. Either ounces, drachms, or any other unit, may 
be substituted for Grams. 

As a rule, the final product of each formula is either 
looo or IOC units, so that the proportions per cent, are 
seen at a glance. 

The virtual adoption of the Metric System in the forth- 
coming Pharmacopoeia of the United States will account 
for the preference given to that system in this volume, 
which, however, does not prevent the ready use of the book 
with apothecaries' weights and measures. 

An extended account of the Metric System, such as the 
author hopes will greatly aid in its popularization, has been 
given in Part I, accompanied by full tables of equivalents. 



Vlll PREFACE. 

The sources from which the formulae have been gathered 
are believed to be the best. They include the Pharmacopoeias 
of England, Germany, France and Sweden, and the formulae 
were selected with reference to their popularity, usefulness, 
and interesting character. Several are from Reports of the 
American Pharmaceutical Association (especially the Re- 
port on the Revision of the Pharmacopoeia, edited by 
Charles Rice, of New York), and others are original. 

The metric prescriptions in Part III are selected from 
the pharmacopoeias and formularies of the great hospitals 
of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and London, or con- 
tributed from the practice of Medical Officers of the 
United States Marine Hospital Service. Most of them are 
in fact extensively employed in hospital and out-patient 
practice. In this work, where they are introduced simply 
as illustrations of metric prescription-writing, they have 
been slightly altered in converting them into metric terms, 
and adjusted to a final product of one hundred units. 

The Dose Table in Part IV probably includes nearly all 
of the remedies that have a place in the current materia 

medica, 

» 

As for the Latin nomenclature used, it is in accordance 
with the views expressed in a paper read before the Ameri- 
can Pharmaceutical Association, at Saratoga, N. Y., in Sep- 
tember last. In it the possessive case is ignored and the 
names of chemicals are simply latinizations of the most 
correct English chemical nomenclature. 

Those who look for receipts for adulterated liquors, quack 
nostrums, etc., in this volume will be disappointed.

THE METRIC SYSTEM. 



THE METRIC SYSTEM. 



Historical. 



To the Honorable John Sherman, our Secretary of the 
Treasury, whose practical and clear mind we have to thank 
for so many other substantial and lasting benefits, belongs 
the honor of being the first representative of our govern- 
ment who has officially authorized and directed the exclu- 
sive use of the metric system of weights and measures in 
any branch of the public service. Professor C. Lewis Diehl, 
in his annual '^Report (to the American* Pharmaceutical 
Association) on the Progress of Pharmacy," for 1879, says 
in reference to it : " The action of the Treasury Depart- 
ment in this connection must be regarded as the first prac- 
tical step to the adoption of the metric system of measure- 
ments for all purposes whatever throughout the land." 

The Hon. J. K. Upton also — at the time Chief Clerk of 
the Treasury Department, and now Assistant Secretary of 
the Treasury — made an able and elaborate report upon the 
subject of the proposed introduction in this country of the 
metric system, in which he took strong ground in favor of 
its adoption for use at some fixed early date. The conclud- 
ing paragraphs of his report are as follows : 

'' It should be borne in mind that the only legalized sys- 
tem of weights and measures in this country to-day is the 
metric system, and that this system is the only one we 
possess in narmony with that of any other country. 



1 6 THE METRIC SYSTEM. 

''As to the time necessary for the government and the 
people to prepare for its obligatory use, there may be some 
diversity of opinion. Considering the experiences of other 
nations and the admitted aptness of our people for adopting 
and utilizing improved methods of business, I am clearly of 
the opinion that a notice of two years will be sufficient to 
enable the government to prepare for the adoption of the 
system in all administrative transactions, and that a notice 
often or fifteen years will be sufficient to enable the country 
to prepare for its obligatory use in transactions between 
individuals. Possibly, for a while thereafter, a compromise 
with vulgar fractions and existing terms may be necessary, 
but meanwhile the new system will be taught in our schools, 
explained in the public press, and exemplified by our expe- 
rience, and in a comparatively brief time the use and terms 
of the old system will disappear as have those of English 
money before the advance of our decimal coinage." 

It is undeniable, that since the promulgation, with Sec- 
retary Sherman's approval, of the order of April 27th, 1878, 
issued by the late Surgeon-General John M. Woodworth, 
of the Marine Hospital Service, making the use of the 
metric system compulsory in that service for all medical 
and pharmacal purposes, the introduction of this system has 
made much more rapid strides than ever before among the 
medical profession, whether this progress be due to that 
order or not. 

The indorsement of the metric system by the American 
Medical Association, and by a large number of State Medi- 
cal Associations and County Medical Societies, and espe- 
cially in the forthcoming new Pharmacopoeia of the United 
States, as directed by the Sixth Decennial Pharmacopoeial 
Convention, have placed the ultimate and complete adop- 
tion of that system by the physicians and pharmacists of 



HOW TO LEARN. 1/ 

this country beyond peradventure, though much yet re- 
mains to be done to learn the new and forget the old. 

How TO Learn. 

To drop the old system of weights and measures entirely, 
and start out anew with the metric system, after learning 
the doses of medicines over again in metric terms, I con- 
ceive to be more convenient than safe. During the period 
of transition from the old to the new system it is necessary 
to constantly make comparisons between the two, and to 
convert values as expressed in terms of the one system into 
their equivalent expressions according to the other. To be 
on the safe side we will do well to verify the metric doses 
with which we are making ourselves familiar, by compari- 
son with the doses expressed in the old system about which 
we have no doubt. Besides, the most thorough way to 
learn the metric system and its practical application in 
prescription-writing is to learn the equivalents of the units 
of either system in the units of the other, by heart ; to ap- 
ply Qonvenient rules of conversion, verifying the results by 
reliable tables ; to use a posological table in which the 
doses are given in terms of both systems, thus enabling the 
physician to verify the metric dose by direct comparison 
with that in apothecaries' weights and measures after cor- 
recting or modifying the latter dose by the light of his ex- 
perience and the requirements of the case in hand j and 
finally to examine already prepared metric prescriptions, 
such as afford abundant illustrations of familiar practice. 
Among those given in this volume will be recognized many 
time-honored formulae, such as '^Stokes's Expectorant," 
*' Scudamore's Gout Mixture," etc. Any physician into 
whose hands this formulary may come will of course scru- 
tinize each formula which he may wish to use. The special 



1 8 THE METRIC SYSTEM 

therapeutic application to which each prescription may be 
put is, for obvious reasons, not given. 

Much of the matter which follows will be recognized as 
substantially the same as prepared by me to accompany the 
order of April 27th, 1878, above referred to. It is, how- 
ever, much enlarged and, I think, improved upon. Tables 
giving exact equivalents, computations of prices, relations 
of weight to volume, and volume to weight, etc., are 
added. 

Believing that as liquid medicines are necessarily ad- 
ministered in doses by measure, they should also be pre- 
pared and prescribed by measure, I have retained volu- 
metric methods in the statement of formulae. The suppo- ; 
sition that the sacrifice of our convenient medicinal fluid ■ 
measures necessarily follows the adoption of the metric 
system is erroneous. There can be no doubt that the adop- 
tion of the term '' Fluigram " for the citbic-centimeter^ to 
make plain the analogy between that and the gj-afu, as sug- 
gested by Mr. Alfred B. Taylor, of Philadelphia, would 
greatly aid the introduction and usefulness of the metric 
system, and it is used throughout this formulary with the 
earnest hope that the innovation will be kindly received. 
(See New York Medical Record, August 14th, 1880.) 

Pharmacists, it is taken for granted, will provide them- 
selves with an outfit of metric weights and measures, when 
the new Pharmacopoeia shall have been issued, if they have 
not already purchased them. There is no longer any ex- 
cuse for the absence of metric weights and measures in 
any pharmaceutical establishment. The possession and 
use of them is moreover the easiest as well as the most 
thorough method of becoming practically familiar with the 
system. 

I have used the weights made by Henry Troemner, of 



HOW TO LEARN.

Philadelphia, and find them quite reliable and moderate in 
cost. From his illustrated price list I copy the following : 



Fig. 20. 




Fig. 23. 




Fig. 24. 




Fig, 25. 




The weights include the sizes from 20 grams to i cent, 
except the sets represented by Fig. 25, which contain 
weights from i kilo, or 500, 200, or 100 grams, down to i 
gram. These weights can probably be procured from any 
wholesale drug-house in the United States. They are well 
finished, put up in convenient and neat mahogany cases, 
and are sold at prices ranging from one dollar upward. 

Metric glass measures graduated to deliver actual cubtc- 
centimeters (998.9 gram for every liter, which is the correct 
relation between the units of weight and fluidmeasure at 
16.66° C, or 62° F.) are made by Whitall, Tatum & Co., of 
Philadelphia, and those I have seen or used have been found 
accurate. 

For general use the flasks, measures, and pipettes repre- 



20 



THE METRIC SYSTEM. 



sented by the following cuts, taken from their illustrated 
catalogue, are probably the most useful : 




In accordance with the decision of the Committee of 
Revision and Publication of the Pharmacopoeia of the 
United States, the strength of the fluid extracts will in the 
Pharmacopoeia of 1880 be determined volumetrically, as at 
present, and the use of metrically graduated receiving bot- 
tles will therefore be necessary. 

Metric prescription vials (valuable as object lessons) can 
be had of H. C. Fox & Sons, and Whitall, Tatum & Co., 
both of Philadelphia. 



WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 21 



THE FRENCH DECIMAL SYSTEM OF 
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 



Description. 



1. The Metric System is based upon the Meter, which 
is the standard unit of linear measurement oi t\\2it system. 

The Meter is equal to 39.370432 inches, or about 10 per 
cent, longer than the yard. 

2. The Metric unit oi fluid measure i^ the Liter — the 
cube of y'o" meter (one decimeter), or 1000 cubic-centimeters. 

The Liter is equal to about 34 fluidounces. 
_ The Cubic-centimeter is equal to 16.231 minims. 

3. The Metric unit of weight is the Gram, which rep- 
resents the weight of one cubic-centimeter of water at its 
maximum density. « 

The Gram is equal to 15.43234874 troy-grains. 

A Practical View of it. 

4. In writing and dispensing prescriptions it is always 
sufficiently accurate and safe to consider i Gram exactly 
equal to 15 troy grains, and i Cubic-centimeter as exactly 
equivalent to 15 minims, and the fractions over 15 may be 
ignored. 

[The actual excess of i Gram over 15 troy grains amounts to less 
than three grains for every hundred grains ; and the excess of i Cubic- 
centimeter over 15 minims amounts^to 8^ minims for every 100 minims.] 



22 THE METRIC SYSTEM. 

We will accordingly have : 

I Gram equal to 'j^ troy-grains 

I Troy grain equal to -^\ gram 

I Cubic-centimeter equal to y minims 

I Minim equal to y'^- cubic-centimeter. 

The ^^Fluigram." 

5. We have already seen that the Gram is the weight of 
one Cubic-centimeter of water. Hence, when referring to liq- 
uids, the Gram and the Cubic-centimeter may be considered 
as equal quantities, except the liquids be very heavy (as in 
the case of chloroform, sulphuric acid, strong solutions, 
syrups, etc.), or very light (as in the case of ether). 

We will hereafter drop the term Cubic- centimeter, and 
adopt in its place the term Fluigram,* to bear in mind the 
more readily its close relation to the Gram. The word 
Fluigram is besides more convenient, euphonious, and 
American, than the word Cubic-centimeter. 

6. The relation between the units of the old system and 

the units of the Metric System, then, may be expressed as 

follows : 

I Drachm is equal to 4 Grams ; and 

I Fluidrachm is equal to 4 Fluigrams. 

RULES FOR CONVERSION. 

Apothecaries to Metric, and Metric to 
Apothecaries. 

• 7. To convert troy-grains into Grams, or niinims into 
Fluigrams : 

A. — Divide by 10, and from the quotient subtract one-third. 

Ex. — To convert 60 grains into its equivalent in Grams, divide the 
number by 10, which gives 6 as the quotient; from this 6 subtract one- 

* Proposed by Mr. A. B. Taylor, of Philadelphia. 



RULES FOR CONVERSION. 2^ 

third (2), which leaves 4 as the answer, 4 Grams being equivalent to 
60 grains. Or, 

B. Divide by \^. 

Ex. — 3 Fluigrams are equivalent to 45 minims, because 15 is con- 
tained in 45 three times. 

8. To convert apothecaries' (troy) drachms into Grams, 
ox fluidrachmsvs\\.oYuj\GKKW&\ 

Multiply by 4. 

9. To convert Grams into grains or Fluigrams into 

minims : 

Add ^o per cent, {one-half^, and multiply the sum by 10. 

Ex. — To 12 Grams add 50 per cent. (6), which gives the sum of 18 J 
multiply this by 10, which gives 180 as the number of grains equivalent 
to 12 Grams. 

10. To convert Grams into drachms, or Fluigrams into 

fluidrachms : 

Divide by 4. 

11. When whole troy-ounces or fluidounces are con- 
cerned, 30 is the multiplicator or divisor to use. 

To convert troy-ounces (or fluidounces^ into Grams (or 

Fluigrams) : 

Multiply by 30 ; and 

To convert Grams (or Fluigrams) into troy-ounces (or 

fluidounces^ : 

Divide by 2^0. 

■ Accuracy of the above Rules. 

12. In applying the rules given in paragraphs 7 to 10 to convert the 
several quantities by w^eight in any one prescription or formula con- 
structed exclusively in proportions by weight, the original proportions 
between these quantities will still be preserved, the deviation from exact- 
ness being invariably the same. It will also be found that the same 
rules may be applied in converting the several quantities in a formula 



24 THE METRIC SYSTEM. 

or prescription constructed exclusively by measure, without disturbing 
at all the original proportions. 

In any formula, however, where weights and measures are used 
together, the application of the rules referred to will result in a slight 
change, so that in the resulting metric formula the measured quantities 
will be about 5 per cent, larger in proportion to the weighed quantities. 
This is a fortunate circumstance, because the diluents used in mixtures 
are the only ones proportionally increased, simply diluting the mixture 
5 per cent., which is insignificant and on the safe side. 

Abbreviations. 

13. The term Gram is abbreviated ''Gm/' and the term 
Cubic-centimeter, **C.C." The word Fluigram is abbrevi- 
ated *'fGm." 

Prescription Writing. 

13 «. In writing prescriptions it is best not to use any- 
other units but the Gm and the fGm, fractions of which 
should be stated decimally. It is easier in prescriptions to 
write '^ o.io Gm " than *' 10 centigrams," or '^ 10 cents." 

To preclude the possibility of mistaking the sign"Gm" (always 
written with a capital " G ") for the sign " gr." (which is always written 
with a small " g "), we should invariably in. writing metric prescriptions 
put the number before the sign, using the common Arabic numerals, to 
distinguish sufficiently the metric formula from one in apothecaries' 
weights and measures, where the quantities are written by means of 
signs, all of which differ widely from " Gm" and " fGm," except the 
" gr.," which, however, is invariably put in front of the number, which 
is expressed in Roman numerals. 

14. It has been recommended to use a " decimal line " instead of 
decimal points in writing metric prescriptions. This is entirely prac- 
ticable when the prescription blanks are expressly printed for that pur- 
pose, or M'here the decimal line is drawn from top to bottom. In 
writing a metric prescription, however, in which only one quantity 
is stated, a short decimal line drawn with the pen would probably be 
mistaken for the figure ** i." 



PREFIXES 



25 



Dimes, Cents, and Mills. 

15. Tenths, hundredths, and thousandths, of both the 
Gram and Fluigram, maybe conveniently called *^ dimes," 
" cents," and '' mills " when referred to in speaking. The 
Fluidime being the equivalent of ij^ minim, we will not 
require any smaller unit to express quantities by measure. 
In referring to quantities by weight, however, it will be 
found convenient to use the expression ''dime" for o.io 
Gm (equal to i}4 grain), "cent" for o.oi Gm (equal to 
about ^ grain), and "mill" for o.ooi Gm (equal to g'j 
grain). The "cent" and "mill" are especially valuable 
terms and will be frequently used in this book. 



Prefixes Superfluous. 

16. The prefixes used in the metric system are simply numerals, as 
follows : 



Myria 


, which 


means, 


. • • . 


. 10,000 


Kilo, 


C(

And they are quite unnecessary in the writing of prescriptions (if not in 
all cases). For multiples of the units Gm and fGm, English numerals 
are far more convenient, generally intelligible, and at least equally ex- 
plicit ; while for subdivisions of these units, the American terms dime^ 
cent, and mill, are quite handy. 



Something to Learn by Heart. 

17. The following approximate equivalents should be 
learned by heart: 

I Troy-grain (or minim) is equal to 0.06 Gram (or Flui- 
gram) or 6 cents. 



26 THE METRIC SYSTEM. 

I Drachm (or fluidrachm) is equal to 4 Grams (or Flui- 
grams). 

I Ounce (or fluidounce) is equal to 30 Grams (or Flui- 
grams). 

I Gram (or Fluigram) is equal to 15 grains (or minims). 

4 Grams (or Fluigrams) is equal to i drachm (or flui- 
drachm). 

30 Grams (or Fluigrams) is equal to i ounce (or fluid- 
ounce). 

Drops and Spoonfuls. 

18. The average '' drop " is equal to 0.05 fGm (or one- 
half *' fluidime"), and i fluidime is about 2 drops. 

An average teaspoon holds 5 fGm ; a dessertspoon, 10 
fGm ; a tablespoon, 20 fGm ; and a wineglass, 75 fGm. 

Wherever " 5 fGm " is stated to be the dose of any preparation em- 
braced in this formulary, it is understood that a " teaspoonful " is meant, 
etc., and that the label should so indicate. This is done so as to show 
the relation of the dose to the total quantity prescribed. It will, how- 
ever, also serve to fix in our memory the fact that the average teaspoon 
holds more than one fluidrachm (4 fGm), and that it is safer and more 
correct to allow 5 fGm to the teaspoonful in making up the volume of 
a mixture.

20. The essential characteristics of a system of weights 
and measures which may entitle it to cosmopolitan adoption 
assuperior to the old arbitrary and incongruous systems, or 
rather no-systems, are: ist. That it rest upon a basis of 
some geographical magnitude ; 2d. That it be a decimal 
system ; 3d. That the unit for linear measurement be the 
primary unit of the whole system, to which the units for 
measurement of surface, volume, and weight, derived from 
it, shall bear the simplest relation possible. These con- 
ditions are fulfilled by the metric system based upon the 
meter.

Multiply by 500 and deduct \o per cent. 

Note. — (a;) The answer /"or weights arrived at by this rule will be 
too small by 55,433 grains for every 1000 avoirdupois pounds, or about 
eight-tenths of I per cent. If i per cent, be added to that answer, the 
sum will be too great by only 14,012 grains for every 1000 avoirdupois 
pounds, or 14 grains for every pound. Ex. — To find the number of 
grams equivalent to 1000 avoirdupois pounds, multiply by 500 and de- 
duct 10 per cent. ; the answer will be 450,000, which is 3592 less than

the exact number of grams equivalent to looo avoirdupois pounds. 
Add to the answer (450,000) i per cent. (4500), and the sum will be 
454,500, which is only 908 more than the exact number of grams 
equivalent to 1000 avoirdupois pounds (453,592). 

[b.) The answer for measures arrived at by this rule will be too 
small by nearly 49 pints for every 1000 pints, or nearly 5 per cent. If 
5 per cent, be added to that answer, the sum will be too small by only 
22j^ fluidounces for every 1000 pints, or 1 1 minims for every pint. 
£x. — To find the number of cubic-centimeters equivalent to looo pints, 
multiply by 500 and deduct 10 per cent. ; the answer will be 450,000, 
which is less by 23,163.74 than the exact number of cubic-centimeters 
equivalent to looo pints. Add to the answer (450,000) 5 per cent. 
(22,500), and the sum will be 472,500, which is only 663.74 less than 
the exact number of cubic-centimeters equivalent to 1000 pints (473,- 
163.74). 

2 2. To convert Grams into avoirdupois pounds (a), ox 
Cubic-centimeters into pints {d) : 

Add 10 J>er cent, and divide by 500. 

Note. — (a.) The answeryi?r weights arrived at by this rule will be 
too small by 32.35 grains in every 1000 grams, or about one-fourth per 
cent. If one-fourth per cent, be added to that answer the result will 
be too great by only 6.3 grains for every 1000 grams, or about one one- 
hundred-and-fiftieth of a grain for every gram. Ex. — To find the num- 
ber of avoirdupois pounds equivalent to 1000 grams, add 10 per cent, 
and then divide the sum by 500; the answer will be 2.2, which is 
0.0046 less than the exact number of avoirdupois pounds equivalent 
to 1000 grams. Add to the answer (2.2) one-fourth per cent. (0.0055) 
and the sum will be 2.2055, which is only 0.0009 more than the exact 
number of avoirdupois pounds equivalent to looo grams (2.20462 -}-). 

(^.) Ttie answer for meastires arrived at by this rule will be too 
great by 0.09 pints for every 1000 cubic-centimeters, or about 4 per cent. 
If 5 per cent, be deducted from that answer, the sum will be too small 
by one-third fluidounce for every 1000 cubic-centimeters, or one-sixth 
of a minim for every cubic-centimeter. Kx. — To find the number of 
pints equivalent to 1000 cubic-centimeters, add 10 per cent, and divide 
the sum by 500; the answer will be 2,20, which is more by 0.09 than 
the exact number of pints equivalent to 1000 cubic-centimeters. De- 
duct from the answer (2.20) 5 per cent. (0,1 1), and the remainder will 
be 2.09, which is only 0.02 less than the exact number of pints equiva- 
lent to 1000 cubic-centimeters (2.1 1 -V).

Multiply by 30 and then deduct 5 per cent. 

Note. — The answer arrived af by this rule will be too great by about 
5.30 avoirdupois ounces for every 1000 avoirdupois ounces (about one- 
half of one per cent.), or 2.4 grains for every ounce. Ex. — To find 
the number of grams equivalent to looo avoirdupois ounces, multiply 
by 30, and from the product deduct 5 per cent. ; the answer will be 
28,500, which is 150.46 more than the exact number of grams equiva-

26. To convert Grams into avoirdupois ounces : 

Divide by 30, and add 5 per cent. 
Note. — The answer arrived at by this rule will be too small by 0.273 
ounces for every 1000 grams, or less than 0.3 grain for each gram. 

27. To convert Yards into meters : 

Deduct 10 per cent. 
Note. — The answer arrived at by this rule will be too small by 15.75 
yards for every 1000 yards, or a little over i^ per cent. If i^ per 
cent, be added to that answer, the sum M'ill be too small by only about 
35 J^ inches for every 1000 yards, or one-thirtieth inch for every yard. 
Ex. — To find the number of meters equivalent to looo yards, deduct 
100 ; the remainder, 900, lacks 14.39 o^ being the exact number of 
meters equivalent to 1000 yards. Add to the answer (900) ij^ per cent.

exact number of meters equivalent to-iooo yards (914.39 +). 

28. To convert Meters into yards : 

Add 10 per cent. 

Note. — The answer arrived at by this rule will be too great by 19.13 
feet for every 1000 meters, or a little over one-half per cent. If one- 
half per cent, be deducted from that answer, the remainder will be too 
great by only about 32 j^ inches for every 1000 meters, or about one- 
thirtieth inch for every meter. Ex. — To find the number of yards 
equivalent to 1000 meters, add 10 per cent. ; the answer will be iioo, 
or 6.38 more than the exact number of yards equivalent to looo meters. 
Deduct from the answer (iioo) one-half per cent. (5.50), and the re- 
mainder will be 1,094.50, which is only about 0.88 more than the exact 
number of yards equivalent to looo meters (1,093.62 + ). 

29. To convert Feet into meters : 

Multiply by 3 and divide by lO. 
Note. — The answer arrived at by this rule will be too small by 15.75 
feet for every 1000 feet, or a little over i^ per cent. If 1)4 pe^^ cent, 
be added to that answer, the sum will be too small by only about one 
foot for every 1000 feet, ar about one-eightieth inch for every foot. 
£x. — To find the number of meters equivalent to 1000 feet, multiply 
by 3 and divide the product by 10; the answer will be 300, or 4.8 less 
than the exact number of meters equivalent to 1000 feet. Add to the 
answer (300) i}4. per cent. (4.50), and the sum will be 304.50, which 
is only about 0.3 less than the exaQt number of meters equivalent to 
1000 feet (304.80 — ). 

30. To convert Meters into/^^/.- 

Add 10 per cent, and multiply by 3. 
Note. — The answer arrived at by this rule will be too great by 19.13 
feet for every looo meters, or about one-half per cent. If one-half per 
cent be deducted from that answer, the remainder will be too great by 
only about 2^ feet for every 1000 meters, or one-thirtieth inch for every 
meter. Ex. — To find the number of feet equivalent to 1000 meters, add 
10 per cent, and multiply by 3; the answer will be 3,300.00, or 19.13 
more than the exact number of feet equivalent to 1000 meters. Deduct 
from the answer (3,300.00) one-half per cent. (16.50), and the remainder 
will be 3,283.50, which is only about 2)4 more than the exact number 
of feet equivalent to looo meters (3,280.87 — ). 



RULES FOR CONVERSION. 33 

31. To convert Inches into meters : 

Divide by 40. 

Note. — The answer arrived at by this rule will be too small by 15.75 
inches for every 1000 inches, or about i^ per cent. If i^ per cent, 
be added to that answer, the sum will be too small by about i inch for 
every 1000 inches, or about xq^^ inch for every inch. Ex. — To find 
the number of meters equivalent to 1000 inches, divide by 40; the 
answer will be 25, which is 0.4 less than the exact number of meters 
equivalent to 1000 inches. Add to the answer (25) \]4. per cent. (.375), 
and the sum will be 25.375, which is only about 0.025 ^^ss than the 
exact number of meters equivalent to looo inches (25.40 — ). 

32. To convert Meters into iitches : 

Add 10 per cent, and multiply by 36. 

Note. — The answer arrived at by this rule will be too great by 
19.13 feet for every 1000 meters, or about one-half per cent. If one- 
half per cent, be deducted from that answer, the remainder will be too 
great by only about 2^ feet for every 1000 meters, or one-thirtieth inch 
for every m.eter. Ex. — To find the number of inches equivalent to 
1000 meters, add 10 per cent, and multiply by 36; the answer will be 
39,600, which is 229.57 more than the exact number of inches equiva- 
lent to 1000 meters. IDeduct from the answer (39,600) one-half per 
cent, (198), and the remainder will be 39,402, which is only 31.57 
more than the exact number of inches equivalent to looo meters 

(39>370-43). 



Prices of Metric Quantities. 

33. To find the exact value of any number of grams of any article, 
the price per "avoirdupois pound being known, is a very simple process : 
Multiply the number of grams with the price per avoirdupois pound, 
and then divide the product by 453.6 — the number of grams in the 
avoirdupois pound. This process is certainly not more difficult than 
the computations constantly found necessary in preparing invoices in 
which the quantities are expressed in pounds, ounces, drachms, and 
grains. For the sake of greater clearness I may be pardoned for quot- 
ing an example: 100,000 grams of potassium iodide is to be priced; 



34 THE METRIC SYSTEM. 

the manufacturer's quotation is ^3.10 per avoirdupois pound; to find 
the total value of 100,000 grams at that price, multiply the 100,000 by 
3.10 and divide the product, 310,000, by 453.6, which will give the 
quotient ^683.42 as the answer sought. In the same manner the exact 
value of any number of grams of any article may be computed from the 
price per avoirdupois ounce, by multiplying the number of grams by the 
ounce-price, and then dividing the product by 28.35, the number of 
grams in an ounce advoirdupois. 

34. An easy and convenient way of computing the value of any 
article per Kilogram (1000 Gm.), the avoirdupois pound price being 
known, is to simply 7mdtiply the latter by 2.2, the answer arrived at 
by this rule being too small by only ^2.31 ^Jg for every ^i 102.71 J^, or 
20.96 cents for every ^100, or about one-fifth per cent. 

(This rule is based upon the fact that i kilogram is equal to 
2.20462125 avoirdupois pounds, or 15,432.34874 troy-grains — see 
Table I.) 

35. To find the value per Liter of any article, the price per pint 
being known, multiply the latter by 2. 1 1, the answer arrived at by 
this rule being too small by only ^3.43 J^ for every ^21 13.43, or ^0.16^ 
for every ^100, or about one-sixth per cent — see Table K. 

36. To find the value of any article per Meter, the price per yard 
being known, mziltiply the yard price by 1. 1 (or add ten per cent., which 
amounts to the same thing), the answer arrived at by this rule being 
too small by only about three-fifths per cent., or 63 cents for every 
^100 [which may be added if deemed necessary].

+62° F. being assumed to be 0.9989, the number of Cubic-centimeters 
in an Imperial Gallon has been obtained as follows : 

4535.9265254655 (= the number of grams equal to 70,000 grains). 

.9989 

One Liter of water at +4° C. weighs 15,432.34874 grains and at +62° 

F. 15,415.373156386 grains (assuming the Specific Gravity of water

+62° F. measures 0.220219616 Imperial Gallon : = ^5>4i5-373i56386 

70,000 

As 1000 Cubic-centimeters is equal to 61.025386771024641261568 
cubic inches (assuming as correct the determination by Captain Clarke 
of the value of the Meter in English inches = 39.370432), and as 
1000 Cubic-centimeters of pure water at +4° C. (barometer 30 inches) 
weighs 15,432.34874 troy-grains (assuming as correct the determina- 
tion by Professor Miller of the value of the Gram in troy-grains = 
15.43234874), the weight of i cubic inch of pure water at + 4° C. should 

be 252.88408 troy grains, and at + 1 6.66° C. (=62° F.) 252-88408 x 0-9989 

1 .0000 
= 252.6059 grains. 

If the number of cubic-centimeters in an Imperial Gallon, obtained 
as stated above (by dividing the number of grams equal to 70,000 
grains by .9989), be correct, then, as I cubic-centimeter is equal to 
0.061025386, etc., cubic inches, each Imperial Gallon contains 4,540.- 
921544 X 0.061025386 = 277.1 1 15 cubic inches. 

Both the above results are verified by multiplying the number of 
cubic inches contained in one Imperial Gallon (277.1 115) by the weight 
of I cubic inch of pure water at 62° F. (252.6059), which will give 
the number of grains of pure water at + 62° the volume of which is 
the Imperial Gallon (70,000). The result of this multiplication is 'in 
fact 69,999.9998578, which proves the correctness of the calculations.

[The above table can also be used to ascertain the value of any 
article per meter, the price per inch, foot, or yard being known. To 
find it, let the figures in the first column, under the head of " Meters," 
represent the known price, and the figures in the other columns the 
prices sought. Ex. — If the price is 2 cents per inch, find 2 in the first 
column, and opposite in the inch column will then be found the price 
per meter, viz.,- 783^ cents. At 2 cents per foot, the meter would cost 
6.56 cents; and at 10 cents per yard the meter wo^ld cost 10.94 per 
yard, etc. See also footnote to Table E,]

AQU^. 



Mr. W. S. Thompson, of Washington, D. C, recom- 
mends making aromatic waters from volatile oils by means 
of raw cotton. He distributes the volatile oil thoroughly- 
through twice its weight of clean raw cotton (either "ab- 
sorbent cotton," or cotton washed with a weak solution of 
sodium carbonate), by picking the cotton after each addi- 
tion of the volatile oil ; then he packs the cotton thus im- 
pregnated into a funnel, and percolates water through it 
until the requisite quantity is obtained. The products by 
this method are undoubtedly very superior in quality.

E L I X I R I A. 



Bitter and nauseous doses of medicine are sending a great and in- 
creasing number of the patients of physicians of the regular school of 
medicine away from their offices, and a still greater number who have 
not yet thought of running away are making a wry face. That persons 
who have the misfortune to be obliged to take medicine are beginning 
to demand that some attention should be given to the requirements of 
taste, smell, and even sight, so far as possible, is unmistakable. Man- 
kind has not been neglecting the cultivation of these senses, and it will 
not do to say that the doses which have been taken before can be taken 
now, for it really is not wholly true. Many physicians and pharmacists, 
appreciating this, have done what they could to remedy the evil, and in 
many cases have, in so doing, permitted efficacy to give way to pala- 
tableness, which is reprehensible. Manufacturers of Elixirs and other 
so-called "elegant pharmaceutical preparations" have done a great 
deal to strengthen the conviction of a vast number of reasonable people 
that the bitterness and nauseousness of many remedies can and ought 
to be overcome as far as practicable, and for this they deserve credit in 
addition to the substantial reward which does not fail to come to them 
in the way of patronage. Let us, then, recognize this demand, which is 
as irresistible as it is natural. The writer is personally cognizant of many 
cases where homoeopathic advice has been sought, not from any belief in 
the homoeopathic principle of treatment, but to escape the chances of get- 
ting prescriptions for something, the pain of taking which is perhaps less 
endurable than the discomfort of the ailment for which the advice was 
sought. A majority of patients are not suffering enough to be willing 
to submit patiently to that. To argue that if the patient is not sick 
enough to swallow the dose, he can get along without it, is cruel ; for 
many are so organized that they must be veiy sick indeed to overcome 
their repugnance to some remedies. 

The wholesale condemnation of the efforts made to produce medici- 
nal preparations, the looks, taste, or odor, of which will not make 
most people shudder, but will materially aid the physician by rendering 
it probable that his medicines will be faithfully taken, will prove vain. 
Let us, instead, help as far as we can to make preparations which will 



UNOFFICIAL PHARMACOPCEIA. 93 

hi reliable, uniform, and therapeutically efficient without being repul- 
sive. 

Much remains to be done to satisfy the fastidious, no, the reasonable 
tastes of the men, women, and children of to-day in the way of phar- 
macy, and it is to be hoped that the best men in the profession will assist 
and direct the movement. 

"The elixir business," as it is sometimes contemptuously styled, is 
only one of the symptoms of the great general neglect of the require- 
ments of the refined organs of taste, smell, and sight. 

The most objectionable feature of the "elixir business" is that of 
poly-pharmacy, for which the manufacturers may be originally respon- 
sible, though it is quite true that the physicians could suppress that 
objectionable feature if they would by not prescribing the preparations 
tainted with it. More than one prescription in every ten is for some 
elixir or other, and a great many of the elixirs, etc., which pharma- 
cists disapprove of from their standpoint, are prescribed by physicians 
with results which they report as satisfactory. 

Among the remedies most frequently administered in the form of 
palatable elixirs, wines, and syrups are the alkaloids of cinchona- 
bark and their salts, iron in various forms, stiychnine, arsenic, phos- 
phorus, bismuth, pepsin, extracts of beef and malt, etc. The choice 
of materials for making combinations between several of these is at- 
tended with some difficulty. Sometimes, also, the desire to put some- 
thing " new" on the market has induced manufacturers to try to com- 
bine a great number of things that ought not to be combined. Such 
attempts, however, cannot do much harm, for the physician will not 
encourage the poly-pharmacy, and the pharmacist will in the end be 
compelled to confine his attention to such preparations as will be found 
satisfactory to the medical practitioners. Many formulse for elixirs, etc., 
are given in this volume which the compiler would not recommend. 
All these preparations are, however, actually prescribed by physicians. 

It is presumed that there can be but little if any difference therapeu- 
tically between the several salts of one and the same alkaloid ; between 
the several soluble preparations of phosphates of iron, and, in fact, be- 
tween these and many other soluble iron preparations (as between 
pyrophosphate of iron and citrate of iron and ammonium) ; between 
the several preparations of arsenic, etc., provided the doses are in all 
cases the proper ones. If this be true, then each physician or phar- 
macist can construct his own formulae for many preparations of this 
class, combining the several substances according to the requirements, 



94 UNOFFICIAL PHARMACOPCEIA. 

The following enumerated materials are useful where considerable 
quantities of elixirs, etc., are to be prepared: 

Elixir of orange, stronger aromatic elixir of orange, aromatic tinc- 
ture of Curagoa, compound elixir of orange, aromatic elixir, spirit of 
orange, solution of citrate of sodium, solution of citrate of ammonium, 
solution of ferric phosphate with citrate of sodium, solution of ferrous 
lactate with citrate of sodium, stronger solution of quinina, stronger 
solution of cinchonidina, stronger elixir of str}xhnina, stronger elixir of 
arseniate of sodium, solution of phosphorus, citrate of bismuth and am- 
monium, saccharated pepsin, etc. 

Of the many iron preparations introduced in elixirs, wines, and syrups, 
the following are perhaps' most frequently used : Pyrophosphate of 
iron, citrate of iron and ammonium, tincture of chloride of iron with 
or without citrate of ammonium or citrate of sodium, ferric phosphate 
with citrate of either sodium or ammonium, acid phosphates of iron, 
lactate, lactophosphate and hypophosphate, ferrous nitrate, and the 
ferrous iodide and bromide. The phosphate of iron when used should 
be that made with citrate of sodium instead of that of the United 
States Pharmacopoeia, 1870, made with citrate of ammonium, because 
the former keeps much better. The best results are, however, not ob- 
tained with pyrophosphate of iron, but with " ferric phosphate with 
citrate of sodium," as recommended by W. S. Thompson, of Washing- 
ton. Manifestly the principal object in view is to get an iron salt which 
is therapeutically eligible and at the same time palatable and not liable 
to rapid change. Of all the preparations enumerated above, the ferric 
phosphate with citrate of sodium is decidedly the best in all respects 
for the purposes in question, and it can be readily combined with the 
alkaloids and their salts, introduced in elixirs (see under the head of 
** Solution of Fenic Phosphate, etc."). Citrate of iron and ammonium 
does not keep so well in these preparations. Tincture and solution of 
chloride of iron (without citrate of sodium or ammonium), acid phos- 
phates of iron, and the ferrous bromide and iodide have an inky taste ; 
and the others are not at all stable. The "syrup" and other prepara- 
tions of "protoxide of iron" so-called cannot of course be made to 
contain "protoxide of iron," though this can be made to contain salts 
of protoxide of iron. Their names are, therefore, misnomers ; but these 
preparations seem to be largely prescribed. Ferrous citrate and ferrous 
nitrate are usually employed in their manufacture. The writer believes 
that ferrous lactate with citrate of Sodium is to be preferred. 

Pepsin is theoretically greatly injured if not rendered inert by any 
alcoholic menstruum, and the greater the alcoholic strength of the 



UNOFFICIAL PHARMACOPCEIA. 95 

liquid tlie less suitable is it supposed to be as a solvent or vehicle for 
pepsin. Pepsin is also incompatible with alkaline solutions, and re- 
quires the presence of free acid to develop or aid its digestive powers. 
Notwithstanding these facts, however, wines and elixirs of pepsin are 
not only used in enormous quantities, but are pronounced by numerous 
physicians to be valuable remedies, and even the elixirs of pepsin 
and bismuth, which are not pharmaceutically satisfactory preparations, 
are asserted to produce the peculiar effects expected from their exhi- 
bition. Yet, while the pepsin requires free acid and its effects are 
counteracted by alkalies, the citrate of bismuth and ammonium, on the 
other hand, is best retained in solution in the presence of free ammonia, 
and invariably precipitates in an acid liquid. So long as there is, how- 
ever, an extensive demand by physicians for the preparation, the best 
effort should be put forth to make it as well as we may. A perfectly 
neutral reaction should be aimed at in liquid preparations in which 
pepsin and the citrate of bismuth and ammonium are combined, and 
the same rule should be observed in combinations between pepsin and 
pancreatin. It is said that the manufacturers of elixirs of pepsin, bismuth, 
and pancreatin (which are the most difficult preparations to introduce 
in elixirs, whether singly or in combination) put in the quantities that 
should be contained in the final product, but that the portions which fail 
to dissolve or are deposited from the preparations after a time are 
necessarily removed by filtration to render the products clear and sala- 
ble, and this is doubtless true. The formulae given in this volume, 
however, have been found exceptionally satisfactory. 

It will be seen by comparing the several foraiulae that almost any 
combination desired can be readily made on the same general plan.

Mix in the order named, and filter. 

[This aff'ords an excellent simple elixir and vehicle. It 
is somewhat difficult to clarify, especially if the Spirit 
of Orange is freshly prepared. Ten grams of filtering- 
paper reduced to a pulp will generally suffice to clarify 
effectually one liter of the elixir after being in contact with 
it for twenty-four hours previous to filtration. If the Orange 
Spirit has been made several weeks before being used in 
preparing the Orange Elixir, and care is taken not to dis- 
turb any sediment that may have formed in it (the spirit), 
so that the Orange Spirit used is absolutely clear, there will 
be no difficulty in getting the resultingproduct perfectly clear 
and limpid by filtration after twenty-four hours' maceration 
with the paper pulp as suggested. The use of hct syrup 
also aids the clarification in a marked degree. Another 
reliable method of clarification is to triturate the Orange 
Spirit with the paper pulp (which in that case must be very 
finely divided by boiling and constant stirring in water), 
and then to add the remaining ingredients and filter or 
percolate. 

Deodorized Alcohol should by all means be used in 
making any elixir. (The author, indeed, would never use

the common Alcohol in any pharmacal preparation for in- 
terna] use, such as the tinctures, etc.) 

In order to obtain a faultless Orange Elixir, the Orange 
Spirit which enters into it should invariably be made from 
the finest volatile oil of sweet orange that can be obtained. 
This volatile oil never keeps well, and should therefore be 
purchased in a fresh good condition and immediately made 
up into Orange Spirit with strong deodorized Alcohol, 
0.820 sp. gr. 

The above formula is substantially that of the Formulary 
of the District of Columbia, 1875, except that the caramel 
is here omitted. While it is well to color some elixirs, such 
as Elixir of Calisaya, it is better not to color such as contain

When a small portion of the liquid no longer decolorizes a 
solution of permanganate of potassium the oxidation is 
complete.

stant agitation, a mixture of 

Water of Ammonia, twenty- four liters, 24,000 
Distilled Water, fifty liters, . . 50,000 

Wash the precipitate by repeated affusion and decanta- 
tion of large quantities of lukewarm water, after which 
collect it on a strainer and continue the washing until the 
liquid passes tasteless. Then cautiously squeeze out the 
remaining water, and dry the precipitate at a temperature 
not exceeding 40° C. (104° F.). Rub it into fine powder, 
and keep in well-closed bottles of opaque glass. 

The preparation is a dark-brown powder, entirely solu- 
ble in hydrochloric acid, forming a clear solution, which is 
scarcely at all affected by a solution of baric chloride, and, 
after dilution with water, is not precipitated with potassic 
ferrocyanide.

water, using about four hundred fluigrams each time ; then 
transfer it to a muslin strainer, and continue the washing 
with water until the washings pass tasteless ; allow the pre- 
cipitate to drain, then spread it out in a thin layer on the 
strainer, or on bibulous paper, and dry it by exposure to

Introduce the Iodine, Iron, and Water into a glass flask, 
shake it, and cautiously apply heat, if necessary, to aid the 
reaction. When gas ceases to be evolved, the odor of iodine 
disappears, and the liquid acquires a green color, filter 
the liquid through a wet paper-filter into a porcelain 
capsule containing the Milk Sugar, and when the whole of 
it has passed wash the filter with a small quantity of Dis- 
tilled Water, and let this also pass into the capsule. Dur- 
ing the filtration stir the filtrate and the Milk Sugar together. 
Finally evaporate the moisture on a water-bath during 
constant stirring, until the contents of the capsule is dry. 
Reduce the dry mass to powder, and preserve in small well- 
closed bottles protected from the light.

solve the Ferrous Sulphate in one and one-half liters of hot 
Distilled Water, filter, and pour this solution under con- 
stant stirring into the sweetened solution of Sodic Bicar- 
bonate. Fill the bottle. After settling remove the super- 
natant liquid by means of a siphon, and wash the precipitate 
by repeated additions of sweetened Distilled Water, each 
time removed from the precipitate, after settling, by means 
of a siphon, until the washings no longer affect a solution 
of chloride of barium. Collect the precipitate as rapidly 
as possible on a calico filter, remove the water as far as may 
be by pressure between bibulous paper, and while still 
moist mix it with four hundred grams of Sugar in a porce- 
lain mortar. Dry the mixture on a water-bath in a porcelain 
dish without delay, during constant stirring. Keep the 
powdered product in bottles, previously well dried, and

the supernatant liquid, and again pour Distilled Water upon 
the precipitate. Collect it on a filter and wash it with Dis- 
tilled Water so long as the Water runs ofl" clear, and gives 
a rather strong alkaline reaction. Allow the precipitate to 
drain to free it from most of the Water. Then mix it in 
a porcelain capsule with ninety grams powdered Sugar and

Finally add suflicient powdered Sugar to make the whole 
weigh one hundred grams. Reduce the mass to powder,

HORDEUM 



HORDEUM PRiEPARATUM. 

PREPARED BARLEY FLOUR. 

Barley flour is put in a linen bag, which is completely 
filled up to the point where tied, so as to leave no vacant 
space inside. It is then suspended in a deep tinned copper 
vessel, filled with water in such manner that it does not 
come in contact with the sides or bottom of the vessel at 
any point. Heat is then applied, and the water kept briskly 
boiling for the period of fourteen hours, replacing from 
time to time what is lost by evaporation. The bag is then 
removed, the baked mass taken out, and the outer portion, 
which has been penetrated by the action of the water and 
coheres, forming a thick layer. around the interior, is cut 
away. The interior portion is dried and reduced to 
powder, and constitutes the final product. About one- 
third of the flour is lost in the rejected pasty shell. A more 
economical method is to put the flour in a hermetically 
sealed tin box, and to immerse that in the boiling water, or 
expose it to the action of steam, which is, however, difficult 
to regulate satisfactorily. 

The preparation is a fine yellowish or reddish-gray flour, 
of an agreeable sweetish taste and bread-like odor. Its 
constituents are similar to those of malt, the starch being

changed by the action of the heat. It is an easily digested 
and nutritious infant's food, especially valuable in the hot 
season and in infantile diarrhoea. It was first recommended 
by Hufeland. 



HYDRARGYRUM. 



HYDRARGYRICUM CHLORIDO-AMIDIDUM. 

AMMONIATED MERCURY. 

NH,HgCl = 251.5. 

(^HydrargyriitJi Ammoniatum — White Precipitate.) 

Corrosive Mercuric Chloride, two parts, . 2 
Water of Ammonia, three parts, . . .3 
Distilled Water, sufficient. 

Dissolve the Corrosive Mercuric Chloride in forty parts 
of warm Distilled Water ; allow the solution to cool, and 
filter it. Pour this solution gradually and under con- 
stant stirring into the Water of Ammonia. Collect the 
precipitate at once upon a filter, and when all the liquid 
shall have passed through, pour twenty parts of Distilled 
Water upon the precipitate in the funnel. When this water 
has passed, dry the precipitate between bibulous paper as 
rapidly as practicable, in a moderately warm place, and 
protected from the light. 

Ammoniated Mercury is in perfectly white powder or pulverulent 
masses, and is decomposed and volatilized by heat without residue and 
without fusion. Its specific gravity is 5.7. It is insoluble in water and 
in alcohol, and odorless as well as tasteless. Heated with solution of 
potassa it becomes yellow, and evolves ammonia. Hydrochloric acid 



UNOFFICIAL PHARMACOPCEIA. 1 85 

wholly dissolves it (absence of calomel) without effervescence (absence 
of carbonates), yielding a clear solution. Its solution in acetic acid 
yields no precipitate with sulphuric acid (Pb). 



HYDRARGYROSUM CHLORIDUM MITE. 

MILD CHLORIDE OF MERCURY.

Purified Mercury, one hundred parts, . too 
Nitric Acid, seventy-five parts, . . -75 
Diluted Hydrochloric Acid, six hundred 

and thirty parts, ..... 630 
Water, sufficient. 

Introduce the Mercury into a capacious flask, and add 
fifty parts of Nitric Acid previously mixed with fifty parts 
of Water ; place the flask in a sand-bath and apply heat cau- 
tiously. Continue the digestion for one hour after reddish 
fumes have ceased to be evolved, or until the liquid begins 
to get turbid from the separation of basic salt. Pour off 
the solution from the undissolved Mercury into a large por- 
celain dish, and add to it the Boiling Water previously 
mixed with twenty five parts Nitric Acid, stirring constantly. 
When cold, filter. 

Mix the Diluted Hydrochloric Acid in a large earthen jar 
with fifteen hundred parts of Water. To this mixture add, 
during uninterrupted agitation, the Solution of Mercurous 
Nitrate. Let the precipitate subside, pour off the super- 
natant liquid, and wash the precipitate by repeated affusion 
and decantation of a large quantity of Water. Then trans- 
fer the precipitate to a filter and complete the washing with 



1 86 UNOFFICIAL PHARMACOPCEIA. 

Distilled Water, occasionally stirring the wet precipitate on 
the filter with a feather, until the washings are no longer 
affected by Hydrogen Sulphide or by Ammonia. Finally 
dry the precipitate between bibulous paper at a temperature 
not exceeding ioo° C. (212° F.), and keep in well-closed 
bottles. 

Mercurous Chloride is a white, impalpable, odorless, and tasteless 
powder, insoluble in Water, Alcohol, and Ether, and wholly volatili- 
zable by heat without evolving red fumes. Its specific gravity is 6.5. 
With Solution of Potassa it yields, without evolving the odor of Am- 
monia, a black precipitate of Mercurous Oxide, which is reduced by 
heat to Metallic Mercury. Distilled Water or Alcohol, after having 
been agitated with it and filtered, is not affected by Hydrogen Sulphide 
or by Argentic Nitrate (HgClj). Diluted Acetic Acid agitated with 
it also remains unaffected by the same reagents (absence of Ammo- 
niated Mercury). 



HYDRARGYRUM DEPURATUM. 

PURIFIED MERCURY.

Mix the Nitric Acid with the Water, pour the mixture 
upon the Mercury in a porcelain evaporating-dish, and 
macerate for four days, agitating the mixture frequently and 
strongly. Then pour off the acid liquid and wash the re- 
maining metal, first with Distilled Water acidulated with 
Nitric Acid, and afterwards with Distilled Water. When 
the washings no longer exhibit an acid reaction, dry the 



UNOFFICIAL PHARMACOPCEIA. 1 8/ 

Mercury by passing it through tall narrow funnels con- 
structed of bibulous paper, and having an outlet barely suf- 
ficient to admit of the escape of the Mercury in a thin 
stream. 

Purified Mercury is perfectly dry and always presents a bright sur- 
face. When a few globules of it are dropped upon white paper, they 
roll about freely, retaining their globular form, and leave no traces. 
Its specific gravity is 13.5, When dissolved in Nitric Acid, and the 
solution evaporated to dryness, the residue may be volatilized without 
residue by heat.

tassa in the Diluted Alcohol, and mix the solution with 
the Oleic Acid, shaking thoroughly. Pour the solution of 
Mercuric Nitrate into the solution of Oleate of Potassium, 
stirring briskly. Wash the precipitated Oleate of Mercury 
well by trituration in a mortar with Water, using about five 
hundred parts each time, until the washings are tasteless. 



1 88 UNOFFICIAL PHARMACOPCEIA. 

Press out the adhering Water from the mass with the pestle 
until removed as far as possible. Transfer the washed 
Oieate of Mercury to a tared dish, and add to it a suffi- 
cient quantity of Petroleum Butter to make the total weight 
of the contents of the dish one thousand parts. Then heat 
on a water-bath, with occasional stirring, until dissolved, 
and mix thoroughly. Let the product cool, and keep it in

chloric Acid, and '* constantly stirring apply to the mixture 
beneath a flue, with a good draft, a gentle heat, which must 
be gradually augmented as the evolution of gas begins to 
slacken, until the liquid boils. Maintain it at this tempera- 
ture for fifteen minutes ; then remove the vessel from the 
fire, and filter the liquid through calico into another vessel, 
returning what passes through first that a perfectly clear

Water, sufficient. 

Dilute nine liters of the solution of Ferric Chloride with 
thirty liters of Water, and add sufficient Water of Ammonia 
to produce an alkaline reaction and precipitate all the iron 
in the form of hydrate. (About twelve liters will be re- 
quired.) Wash the precipitate ten or twelve times by af- 
fusion and decantation of Water, using about one hundred 
liters each time. Then transfer the precipitate to a muslin 
strainer, and drain it, after which express the remaining 
Water with strong pressure. Finally mix the Ferric Hy- 
drate with the remainder (one liter) of the solution of Fer- 
ric Chloride, and then dialyze. 

(It is necessary to the success of the operation that there 
should be no ferrous salt in the solution of Ferric Chloride, 
and that large quantities of Water should be used in wash- 
ing the precipitated ferric hydrate so as to get it quite free 
from ammonium chloride. The '' Liquor Ferri Chloridi," 
U. S. P., 1870, cannot be used in making dialyzed iron, be- 
cause it contains a large excess of hydrochloric acid, j

Carbonate of Magnesium, a sufficient quantity. 
Citric Acid, a sufficient quantity. 
Distilled Water, a sufficient quantity. 
Bicarbonate of Sodium, a sufficient quantity. 
White Sugar, in very fine powder, a sufficient 
quantity. 

Mix any desired quantity of Carbonate of Magnesium 
with three times its weight of Citric Acid, and triturate with 
sufficient Distilled Water to form a rather thick paste. Dry 
this at a temperature not exceeding 30° C. (S6° F.). To 
fourteen parts of this dry mass, add thirteen parts Bicarbon- 
ate of Sodium, six parts Citric Acid and three parts pow- 
dered Sugar. Moisten the mixture with a sufficient quantity 
of Alcohol, and pass it through a tinned-iron sieve to form 
a coarse granular powder. Dry this powder in a moder- 
ately warm place, and preserve it in well-closed bottles. 



MAGNESICUM OXIDUM LEVE. 

MILDLY BURNT MAGNESIA. 

Take of Carbonate of Magnesium a sufficient quantity. 
Rub it through a No. 80 sieve, and then introduce it into a 
clean capacious cast-iron vessel, slowly and carefully heated 
to a dull redness, and maintain an even heat until the cal- 
cination shall have been completed, stirring the contents 
with an iron spatula. When no longer any effervescence is 
caused by mixing a small quantity of the powder, after cool-

ing, first with water and then with diluted hydrochloric acid, 
the process is finished. Toward the close of the calcination, 
when but little effervescence is produced, frequent trials 
must be made, and the heating promptly discontinued when 
a sample has been at last obtained which fails to effervesce 
when treated with the acid. 

Mildly burnt magnesia is a white and very light, fine 
powder. One gram of this powder, thoroughly mixed with 
fifteen cubic centimeters of water in a beaker-glass, will, after 
standing a half hour, form a gelatinous mass of sufficient 
firmness to remain in the beaker-glass when inverted. 

The preparation is wholly dissolved without effervescence 
by diluted hydrochloric acid ; and the solution yields no 
preciptate with ammonic oxalate (Ca) or with baric chloride 
(H,SoJ.

twenty grams each.

* Milk Sugar is preferable to Cane Sugar as a diluent of powders, 
because of its hardness as well as its greater specific gravity and less 
solubility. It aids trituration, and does not, like Cane Sugar, dissolve 
rapidly, leaving heavy or insoluble substances, like Calomel, in the 
bottom of the spoon when administered.

* Powdered tragacanth and glycerin — one, or the other,' or both, 
as the case may require, but not previously mixed — are the best ex- 
cipients for general use in forming good pill masses (sufficiently firm, 
and not liable to become hard and difficult to dissolve). Lycopodium 
is undoubtedly the best conspergative — to keep the pills from adhering 
together.

LISTER'S ANTISEPTIC TREATMENT. 

a. Before and during Operation. 

1. Carbolic Acid Spray, — Steam passing through a solution of I 
part of carbolic acid in 30 parts of water. As it issues from the jet, 
the solution contains about i part of acid in 40 of water. 

2. Sponges, hands of operators, etc., dipped in solution of carbolic 
acid : i in 20. 

3. Instruments covered with oil containing one-tenth part carbolic 
acid : some are dipped into or kept in watery solution : I in 20. 

4. During intermission of spray, the wound is covered with a cloth 
dipped in carbolic acid solution : i in 20. 

b. After Operation. 

I. A strip of lint soaked in an oily solution of carbolic acid (i in 10), 
or a pure rubber drainage-tube, similarly treated, is left hanging from 
the wound during the first (and if necessary following) days. Either 
of them are cut off flush with the edge of the wound. 



METRIC PRESCRIPTION FORMULARY. 43 1 

2. Over this is placed the Protective, into which a small hole is cut, 
corresponding with the end of the drainage-tube. The Protective con- 
sists of a layer of oiled silk, coated on both sides with copal varnish, 
and afterwards brushed over with dextrin, which latter enables it to 
become uniformly moistened when dipped into a solution of carbolic acid 
(i in 40). It is thus immersed just before being laid upon the wound, 
and is intended to prevent irritation which would be caused by the 
actual contact of the antiseptic dressing with the wound. 

3. Two or three layers of gauze dipped in a watery solution of car- 
bolic acid (i in 40) are next applied. Then, 

4. Seven layers of the Antiseptic Gauze, being a cotton fabric of 
open texture, impregnated with a mixture of 5 parts resin, 7 parts 
paraffin, and l part carbolic acid. 

5. Over this is applied the mackintosh, which is about I inch less 
in size than the gauze. 

6. Then another layer of antiseptic gauze is applied, and finally, 

7. Carbolized bandages, sufficient to retain the dressings, etc.
